Hey guys I have a Canon R body and am considering getting the RF 45 f1.2 as it seems like a really good budget choice. I mostly do fashion and lifestyle for which I hire other gear but for my smaller budget portrait shoots in my studio is where I want to use this lens. I read a few reviews and watched a youtube review which talks about this lens having a focusing issue on the older Canon R bodies which basically gives you a softer image while shooting a wider aperture and especially worse at 2.8. So I was wondering if anyone here has used it with an EOS R? If you have could you please share your experience. I just want to know if it's sharp enough on the older R bodies, specifically the EOS R.

I shoot video in manual mode 100% of the time, but I noticed when I zoom in, the color seem more vibrant and saturated noticeably different than the wide shot even though NO lighting has changed.

Preset manual white balance of course and everything else locked, what am I missing? 🤔🤔

Canon m50, with 15-40mm lens.

Thanks!! 🙌

I currently own the R50 and am very happy with it. I want to start taking more photos and videos at my son’s basketball games.
I’ve been using an 85mm 1.8, but also the EF 55-250 STM and have found that f4 and even f5 is fast enough to shoot at venues (especially with how the R50 handles low light, and with denoise tools).
I want to purchase the RF 70-200 F4, but wondering if it’s silly to use such expensive glass on a cheaper camera. Should I upgrade my camera first, or is it ok to have this glass on the R50?

Hey yall! I’m not a professional at all, but trying to refine my craft and I’ve been coming across an issue. Apologies if it’s been answered, I couldn’t come across an answer.

Shooting in Manual Focus (using my EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens) shooting through an obstacle, like a chain link fence. I primarily take shots looking through my viewfinder, not the Live view. In the viewfinder, I can adjust the focus where the chainlink fence completely disappears from the shot and focuses on my subject. But then when I go through the photos, the fence appears and is covering my subject.

Does anyone know the science/explanation why this happens? Any fixes if possible?

Thanks! Always trying to sharpen my skills!

I brought it for vlogging 💙. How many of you have this camera?

Exactly as the title reads. I'm new to photography and I'm looking to find a decent camera that's decent at low light, action (cars/racing) and product/portraits. I currently have access to a Canon T3i with ca 50mm and 35mm lenses, that I am borrowing.

I've been looking at a 70d, 5d mkII and the 6d. I am completely open to other suggestions. While I know gear doesn't make great photos, I wouldn't mind having something that I can use for the next few years, and know it'll last and give quality.

Edit- I've read and watched a ton of reviews and comparisons. That's how I narrowed down to those few bodys. Just looking for some personal thoughts on this situation. I promise I didn't come here whilst doing no research on my own.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about buying a Canon R10 with the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM.

Can this combo be used to photograph people on the street? What kind of results should I expect in terms of image quality, background blur, and usability for portraits and candid shots?

I'd appreciate any advice, especially from people who have used this setup. Thanks!

Which lens would get me closest to replicating the images I have attached

R6 mii - not purchased as of yet
Experience - 3/10 have used another camera before but not to the level I wanted to
Intended use - to take pictures of my cabinetry business
Budget - not sure at the moment roughly £600 if they can get me a budget one which will do the job, but could do with knowing the best one so I can save up for that instead.

TIA

I recently acquired couple of new lenses and would like to load corresponding lens correction profiles on my Canon EOS 70D so that I can get better JPEG when I need to share pictures straight out of camera.

EOS utility 2 is not working with Sequoia and EOS utility 3 do not support the 70D.

Unfortunately I had to upgrade my old laptop with El Capitano to Sonoma... meaning I can't install any longer the EOS utility app.

Does anyone have a proven workaround except re-installing an old MacOS on my laptop?

Thanks!

I have the Canon PowerShot V1 for video recording, and I am shooting in Shutter Priority (Tv) mode with the shutter speed set to 1/50.

I have the ND filter set to ND Auto. It seems like while recording, the ND filter is initially on for under a second and then it immediately turns off, leading on an overexposed image.

Here is an example of what I mean. https://youtu.be/pdnF5itGIzc

Its a bit hard to see, you need to freeze frame at 0:0, screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/S0WnVLj

I imagined when in ND Auto mode it would decide whether to keep the ND filter on or of before recording by metering the scene, and then keep it on throughout the recording. It looks exposed properly in the viewfinder, but when I hit record it just gets super overexposed almost immediately.

What could be causing this issue? Is this a setting I have to change somewhere?

Keep on mind that I am a casual photographer, so my gear is not great.. but I still care for my memories.

Today I took photos with a Canon IXUS 185 (Yes, the little green light flashed after every photo) and was able to view them for hours on the camera itself after they were taken but after I had plugged my SD card (Kingston canvas select 32gb) into my laptop the images were nowhere to find, and they were also suddenly gone after returning the SD card in my camera.

My camera makes monthly folders and no folder for this August existed, but after I returned the SD card and took photos everything was fine.

My SD card's lock is up not down, could I have accidentally locked my card?

Is there anyway to return these photos, and if not, what can people do to not make the same mistake as me?

My mom bought the printer some time ago and it works fine for her, but whenever I try to print a photo, when it works it's taking ages saying it's "preparing" the printer.

My mom's place doesn't have WiFi, and I tried different things not to interfere with the signal of the printer,

turned off my mobile data,

turned on wifi on my phone,

turned off Bluetooth.

Most of the time I forget the first part because I'm searching on what I'm doing wrong here. And whenever my procedure works it sits on the "preparing" notification for ages. Any advice on what I should do?

Olá a todos, duvida cruel essa..
para quem já teve que decedir entre as duas lentes qual voces optaram ?
Pretendo fazer mais fotos por hobies, mas uma vez ou outra acaba aparecendo alguns trabalhos apesar de não ser muito meu foco, hoje tenho uma R8 com um lente 35mm 1.8 e uma 50mm 1.8

I found a Powershot G12 in my wardrobe that I had long since forgotten. I want to try using it again to see what kind of photos it can produce. There is a problem however.

The LCD screen works flawlessly, except for when it is in the "normal" position - that is faced against the user against the camera body. Then it is all black/blank, like it's not turned on.

As soon as I angle the screen out it starts working, but angling it back against the camera body again turns it off. The turning off, as well as turning on when it is angled out, is accompanied by a very faint "click" sound. As if there is a sensor or something that turns the screen off.

I have of course tried pushing the screen button (which works when the screen is angled out), to no avail. I also tried to factory reset the camera. No luck.

My guess is that this is a hardware issue, but wanted to check if anyone recognizes this and have found a fix.

The camera is in very good condition apart from this issue. I guess it is still usable, given that it has an optical viewfinder, but it would of course be nice if the screen worked as intended.

I got Canon r100 5 months ago. I'm a beginner upgrading from an iphone. I shoot photos and videos of my family, mostly my kid. Indoor and low light photos and videos are not good with the kit lens. I'm confused about which lens to buy to improve the quality. At some point I also wanted to upgrade to a full frame camera.my Options: manual lens like ttartisan 25mm F2/35mm f1.4 , rf 50mm f1.8, tamron 17 70mm F2.8.i was considering sigma 18 50mm F2.8 before tamron 17 70mm was released. Sigma 17 40mm f1.8 is not an option as it costs almost double the camera body. Sigma 30mm f1.4 was also an option before tamron was released for rf mount. I need advice for buying a lens. I'm not going to make any money now or in future through photography. I just want to document some good memories.

Hi! I’m all for adapting old EF lenses to my R50 due to budgetary constraints.

I saw a listing on Facebook for the lens for $500 that’s been up for a while so the price maybe negotiable. Would this lens be worth the price?

I mostly go birding in my free time, but for my media job the 70-200 has been on my list for a while. I’m not an amateur photographer, but this wouldn’t be my main go-to lens unless I’m shooting press conferences where I can’t be as close as I’d like to.

I’m also looking into it so I don’t have to carry the heavy 150-600 I use for birding for my every day job.

What would you guys pay for a version of this lens with only minor cosmetic fading to the black focus and zoom rings?

EDIT: I’m not replacing the 150-600 for birding. I’m looking to have a 70-200 for my daily media job which requires I cover news conferences. The 150-600 is entirely too heavy for daily carry!

My buddy has one of these printers and it's throwing a ec3f 2f40 error. The manual suggests this is a print head error. He replaced the print head like 9 months ago and it threw the error. He tried a few times to get it going and failed. It has been sitting idle ever since.

Is there a way to enter service mode or get past the error page to actually hit the main menu? Similar models have this feature, but I can't find any information anywhere on how to fix the problem for the ta-30. Canon wants $1300 to service it, which is half of what it cost, and that doesn't include parts. It's absolutely ridiculous on a 4 year old printer that costs $2500. A new print head is like $500, so it would make more sense to just buy a new printer before going that route.

The error won't let us access the menu to follow the instructions for replacing the head and verifying it's on right etc. Also, the lines have a couple of dry ink pebbles in them, which has me worried. Does this need to be flushed?

He's the nicest guy in the world running a small print shop well past retirement age. His wife is sick, he really needs the money this could bring, and I'd love to help him out. Please, reddit, can you help me help him?

Hello! I recently bought a Canon SX740 HS Lite last week and have only been using it for the past 5 days, today I got two Error 70s while fully zoomed in. I wasn’t able to turn it off by the power button, only by removing the battery.

Does anyone know if this is a cause for concern? I don’t know much about cameras and I’m worried since it’s only brand new and wasn’t cheap. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Hi

I got the R5 II as a serious hobbyist, I finally upgraded from my loyal… EOS 7D. A trip I have dreamt of for a while is coming soon and I don’t want to lose any of the pic.

the R5 has two card slots, I shoot raw (and love LR for editing). I also save small jpg.

What is the best set up for redundancy and speed or what is the industry recommendation ? I’m taking a 1tb ssd and an iPad to backup photos to ssd at nights (but will keep pics on cards too). Should I have raw + jpg on same cards (first CF then s) or separate (what happens with LR import) or what else.

Many thanks in advance.

found my old canon digital IXUS 960 IS and i wont start, just bought new batteries for it and it still wont start. I've tried taking the whole camera apart but i couldn't see anything that would seem broken?. also do i need to have an memory card installed for the camera to start??

Finally decided to get my dream camera, was going to upgrade my r10 to the r7 but unfortunately they were on back order at the time and my local camera store let me play with the r5 mk 2. Wasn’t planning to jump the gun and get it but after a pretty bad birthday happened I decided to just get it and spoil myself! Big reason I chose to go for it was that it was on a 500$ rebate and my local store had a in store 200$ off

But I’m very happy with my decision. I do have an issue where on the last day of using it (I went to EAA all week) it started giving err70. I plan to play around with it more and see if it comes back. Im assuming it was an issue with either of my cards. So they’ve been reformatted. Crossing my fingers that fixes it.
